Most Scifi fans I have ran into can pretty quickly rank the four stars –BattleSTAR Galactica, STAR Trek, STARgate, and STAR wars, but what lesser-known or less-prestigious shows hold a special place in your heart?

No, Firefly doesn’t count as lesser-known.

    I cannot bring myself to watch sunshine, as the entire premise is dogshit. Exploding a nuke that small (compared to the sun) on the surface of the sun would do absolutely nothing.

      This is true- the premise isn’t scientifically sound in any way. But the movie isn’t really about that. It’s about the journey through space under the stress of this being earths last chance and also kind of eldritch horror. Plus probably my fav roll for Chris Evans. He does a great job being an unlikeable guy who is technically right so you can’t really be against him. I liked it lol.

      You don’t know what was in the nuke, whether it cascaded particles to origin by some unknown yech. Calling it a “nuke” saves the audience technical mumbo-jumbo whilst conveying accurate intent, in the same way that a “phone” probably refers to a mobile phone that can connect with several tech frameworks, instead of a landline dial toner.
